>you can't exist outside of culture
That's not necessarily true. Feral children are completely cultureless.

Additionally, it is perfectly possible to not internalize the culture you are raised in, to completely wear the norms of whatever culture you find yourself in like a mask. This anomic state is a breeding ground for pathological behavior, though. In fact, this state of being is so problematic that the concept of personality disorders become completely meaningless.

It's perfectly possible to maintain benevolence on a contextual basis however. This involves dissolving the concept of self, disregarding self-identity, and developing fluid, dynamic schemas.

Possible, but not easy. Many people spend their lives meditating on this state to try and make it manifest, unsuccessfully. A big problem is that it requires extremely flexible mental frameworks, and that's a lot rarer than you'd think. Another large problem is that the further you travel down this hole, the more you have to try to keep the mask fitting correctly. You're either born with the gift of n-perspective cognition, or you're stuck in a self-imposed social alienation.

That I spent too much time on the computer doing unproductive things as an adolescent, so now I have accidentally normalized my brain into being unproductive and addicted to shitposting.

It is reversable, but it has been so deeply ingrained that I feel like by the time I program new behaviors I will have lost my youth and have no hope to be happy in life.

So instead I keep rolling the dice and soldiering on, hoping that through my current motions in life, I will happen upon an opportunity that nullifies my predicament. In the meantime, I am also looking for an opportunity to become a murder victim to save myself the proverbial failure state of my lazy life.

At least I look handsome in my early 20s though.
